I arrived at the Sogut to a room facing some kind of public building that had huge air conditioners running day and night which made such horrible constant noise that I could hardly sleep. To my dismay on the second day I found a rat under my bed, I ran through the corridors in disbelief and when I went to... more

We had a wonderful time at Sogut Hotel. It´s a nice option offering cleanliness and comfort. Mr Guneri(the front office manager) and Mrs.Cigdem are the kind of people you want to meet in a foreign country: helpful, friendly and efficient.Also the room was clean and comfortable, good breakfast, and the location was perfect, close to many places to shop and... more

The dark secret about this hotel is that it is directly opposite the huge City Hall in Istanbul, and that building runs the most massive air conditioners I've ever seen (classic Crane Company multiple-fan cooling units, presumably from America), These make such a terrible noise -- such a high-pitched, piercing drone -- that you feel like you are bedded down... more

we stayed in this hotel from 11th till the 18th of january 2007. the hotel was very clean and tidy. The breakfast provided was healthy and fresh. all the staff at the hotel were quick to respond to our queries and dealt with any arising problem in a very professional way. marks out of 10= 10 more

The staff is also quite rude and management is the worst I came across in my life. Piece... more

I stayed at this hotel this month and was extremely disappointed with the "service" I was given. to start with only one receptionist speaks English. everyone else including the manager can't communicate with you. I got mugged in Istanbul and my cash and debit card was taken. I had my credit card in the hotel and thought of using it... more

we had a very pleasant stay at the hotel Sogut. it is conveniently located and has excellent access to Sultanahmet where a lot of the sights are. They picked us up at Istanbul airport upon our arrival and the staff were very helpful, especially Ihan and Zubeir who assisted us when my husband got pickpocketed in Beyazit on our second... more

we stayed here for a week in the run up to the final of the champions league(yes, irish liverpool fans do exist). The hotel itself was cosy. Those working on reception could organise anything from a bosphorus cruise to a private taxi to gallipoli...brilliant. The restaurant/bar staff were efficient, friendly and really funny.Nothing was too much trouble for them. The... more
